can I make my carrer.plz sir its so great thanks of u if u will reply an answer.

AnswerDear Manish,

You are 16, why should not you go to any club and hit out 100 runs in just 30 / 40 deliveries. You will find a place in next IPL.

Hope you loved my above joke. Manish, everything is possible but it should be your passion and love to achieve your goal in life. Go join a nearby club, practice a lot, sweat out it on the field of play, attend fitness camp, play local tournaments, score runs, take wickets, do something extra ordinary to attract others and get your name in the good books of your local selectors. Everybody should chant your name and your name should be on everybody's lips to get a major break in cricket.

Work hard on your fitness, practice for 12 hours, and grab the opportunity when you play any competitive games in your state. Consistency and superiority should be the part of your batting. Watch other senior cricketers and learn from them. Try to work on concentration and temperament to stay at the wicket. Play cricket from your heart and use your brain to prosper in the game.

Hope you will follow soon and i would like to see you in the near future in the Indian team. Hope for the best and think always positive. Don't bring any negative though to your mind. Love yourself, have faith in you, and dream what you would like to be.

All the best, go ahead and gain more confidence by scoring runs and taking wickets.

Expertise

I can help to give all questions regarding cricket laws, rules on both umpiring and cricket scoring. It will be a great pleasure to help any candidate who wants to clear the exam of BCCI. I can guide him how the questions are asked and the way they should be replied. I can also conduct classes for Cricket umpiring and scoring anywhere. I look forward to educate and promote local umpires in the days to come. I would help them to get through BCCI Level 1 exam.

Experience

I have been a state panel cricket umpire and doing umpiring for last 40 years and also a BCCI official national scorer since 2004, having done many International ODIs played at Baroda and many first class matches in Baroda. I have passed many state panel exams in both categories.

OrganizationsI was serving with State Bank of India, as an Officer, posted at Bodeli branch, some 65 Kmts from Baroda, having taken promotion in August 2012. I was thereafter transferred to Pavi Jepur Br, some 90 kmts from Baroda on 20/12/2013. Recently I have taken VRS from Bank as after becoming an officer I was facing lot of problems regarding leave to attend BCCI matches as a scorer and also Local umpiring and thus hampering my sporting activities. Now to enable me to spare more time for my passion, I have opted for VRS and was relieved on 30/01/2016 and now will look forward to enjoy my passion in the remaining years.Look forward to remain busy with cricketing activities for next one decade and more.Look forward to help my cricket colleagues.
Look forward to give off my best services to my passion, which has taught me many more things and now I feel I must contribute towards the local cricket association, i.e. Baroda Cricket Association with all love and enthusiasm in the coming years.I feel proud to take VRS for the sake of my passion. Its a great feeling that I have taken a bold decision in the wake of my passion which has given me enjoyment and physical fitness to enjoy the game of cricket in the the days to come. Now I feel myself as a free bird and no tension. Look forward to help budding umpires.

PublicationsEarlier I used to write in local newspaper but thereafter time has not permitted me to do so. I give my views over the controversial topic.

Education/CredentialsI am a degree holder of Commerce and having a reputed banking job in Baroda. Recently due to some personal problems and to fulfil my love and passion for the game of cricket I have opted volunteer retirement from the Bank service to enable me to do BCCI matches as an Official scorer in first class matches. Taking promotion in Bank and expecting leave for the matches was a major problem and that is one of the reasons to quit bank ahead of cricket.

Awards and HonorsI have passed several examination of cricket umpiring at State levels. I passed Mumbai cricket Association as well as Baroda Cricket Associations state exams. I had also cleared national written test of BCCI, but unfortunately sheer bad luck in viva and practical.
